Skincare goodies have gradually penetrated the life of the public, and the market, the big brands recommended on the counter, are nothing more than a unified brand, a unified assembly with the combination, for example, there is a cream at the same time, there must not be less mask and lotion; there is an eye cream on the basis, there will certainly be its upgraded version and even auxiliary goodies, and these in economics we also call: " carry marketing". And is because the penetration and popularity of this marketing model, also make friends in the choice of skin care goodies like "a nest of the end", even said in the subconscious also thinks that the use of the same brand of the whole process, the effect will also have a qualitative leap.

Even if it is not the same brand, the same combination of skincare goodies, as long as it is suitable for their skin type, with the mix can sometimes play an unexpected effect, and many sisters do not just like a brand, or suitable for their own sometimes just one of the skincare goodies. The fact is that they have been trying to mix and match the various kinds of skincare goodies that they like, and they have also formed their skincare secrets.

Understand before you use

So, what I'm going to bring to you is what you need to pay attention to when you are using the skin care goodies together. I also hope to help you grow more skincare knowledge and better manage your skin.

Do not double the effect

The "strong combination" and "double protection" for our skin do not seem to apply, our skin barrier is very weak, and absorption can not withstand two brands of the same efficacy of skincare goodies, but will also produce a rejection reaction. This is because the same efficacy of the two types of good things, the composition is more or less the same, with the use of its effect will affect each other or even greatly reduced, for our skin to a certain extent is also a burden, excess nutrients, absorption, resulting in the accumulation of small particles and other phenomena, the loss is not worth it.

Pay attention to the order of priority

Whether we are skincare or makeup, are concerned about a procedure, the general process of skincare is "water first, cream follow", if you want to mix brands, the first to use some light-textured liquid such as lotion, repair liquid, be absorbed, and then use a thicker texture of high moisturizing cream products, otherwise If the order is reversed, the skin will form a film from the beginning because of the heavy cream, and the subsequent small molecules of water will be difficult to be absorbed, not to mention its proper role, thus causing a waste.

Understand first before using

If you are interested in one of the skin care goodies of a certain type of brand or heard that it is suitable for your skin type, do not apply it blindly, first understand its ingredients and effects, to avoid causing conflict with other skin care goodies ingredients and damage to the skin, you can ask a professional beautician and so on, to reasonably match the use.

Complementary effects

We use skincare goodies, must be to pay attention to the efficacy of complementary, for example, if the mask is hydrating, then the lotion cream chosen behind must be moist water lock, if it is clean pores of the mask, then the water cream used behind it is to have the role of skin tightening, pore reduction, so with each other, complementary, to be able to better care for the skin, play the maximum role.
